I have attached a screenshot of the logstash.node.stats.pipelines.vertices stats I am receiving from metricbeat currently, which should indicate the in/out stats for each of the plugins (input/output/filter). However, I am not able to find out which of the "id"s correspond to which plugin, is there any simple way to do that?

Basically I want to generate statistics related to packet drops within logstash, and recognising which of the vertices correspond to which plugin would help me generate these accurately.

An update to this, I found what I needed was `logstash.node.state.pipeline.representation.graph.vertices`. Though I am only receiving a single document that contains this.
